I read this February 2017. It is the book Harper Lee first wrote, sent to the publisher, who recomended to her to write another from the piont of view of Scout when she was a child which became To Kill a Mockingbird.
I have read TKAM 3 times now, once at school and twice more to try to make myself like it as it's so many people's favourite book. I like the film, but I couldn't get on withthe book.
I enjoyed GSAW so much more, it moves quickly in a languid, Southern sort of way. I felt much more affinity with Scout.
The book raises many racism issues, which still resonate with a modern reader. W should learn form history, I feel, but think that we just don't .
I thoroughly recommend this book to both lovers and haters of TKAM
